ProTracker Tennis

I bought and tried most of the tennis stars apps before settling on ProTracker Tennis. Be sure to check out the documentation on the developer's website to really understand how thorough and powerful the App is, and how you can easily customize the level of detail you wish to capture.

Very impressed with this iPad/iPhone app and its "sister" PC app (which I think you'll need if you want a serious reporting/distribution capability). Yes, the two apps are pricey, but they have been obviously carefully thought through and everyone is amazed at how much quality data (and analysis) I can accumulate in a given match. And since most of the matches I'm covering are doubles, this pretty much eliminates the competition. Again, this program overcomes most of the complexity of catching all the important elements of a doubles match and attributing appropriate characteristics to teams and individuals as appropriate - again, very well thought out. Although fairly intuitive, this app will require a little bit of a learning curve, and some practice to keep up with the play and gather accurate data, but it gives you as much help as it can. After a little time practicing on, say, some televised matches, and then a few practice "live" matches to get the flow, you'll be busy but you can collect the data fairly comfortably. Finally, Eric (the developer) is very responsive and very helpful in answering questions. He will clearly not leave you high and dry if you're having a problem or needing a question answered. Kudo's!

This is the most expensive App I have ever bought, but it is also the most valuable...by far. If you have a child that is serious about tennis, you are probably spending thousands of dollars on equipment, private lessons, academies, court time, travel, etc. I recommend you seriously consider purchasing this App as it is the best return on a $49 investment in tennis development I have ever made....hands down!!! ProTracker is the best app I have found for tracking tennis matches for my son who is moving up the USTA Standings in the Eastern Section. It enables HIM to objectively and accurately view his strengths and areas for improvement immediately following matches without me needing to say a word...Priceless !!! Additionally, it allows us to share detailed information with his coaches to facilitate more effective practices. The reporting capabilities are astounding and have been extremely valuable in his development, coaching, and match planning. The interface is simple and elegant, allowing you to watch the match while tracking important statistics with ease in real time. I watch most of his matches and this gives me a way to stay constructively engaged in his development in a very healthy way. I recommend you try using the app while watching a tennis match on TV/Internet at home, just to get a feel for how it works. You will become proficient very quickly (5-15 minutes). After a very quick setup (names, descriptive info on tournament, first server and side) you have four inputs per point: 1) where the serve lands 2) where the return lands For the shot that ends the point 3) origin point / stroke type 4) landing spot The designer/developer had built a very effective interface that makes this process quick. There are many features built in to ease the tracking and even allow you to quickly add points and/or games if you happen to get distracted or take a break. Just by tracking those four events, you end up with a very rich data set. The App has amazing reporting capabilities enabling you to visually review shot tendencies; serving and returning placement; and winner/error ratios and locations for specific strokes. Recent version updates have included excellent advances in this already robust reporting capability that allow you to really hone in on key factors like performance on break points when up or down and many more.

Stuck in French and can not be changed

I wanted to find a good tennis stats app and this was by far the most impressive. It is very easy to use, and best of all the kids seem to really buy in to it. It makes it very easy to coach them when they have seen their own stats TV-style. I especially like the serving scatter diagrams as this is such an important area to the game. Overall, a great app, it is more expensive than others but is definitely worth the money.

I love this app it has been very useful so far. My students find their tendencies to hit to certain parts of the court with the scatter diagrams and stuff. However I can't figure out how to get the no ad scoring to kick in. It doesn't seem to work

This is a great app. I find it tough to track the rally length and the location of the serve return. Since the serve return tracker can be turned off, problem solved. In the update the option for the coman tie-breaker needs to be added. Other than this a great app, the stats break downs are very helpful to look at with my players.

Although the concept is great.. i'd expect the ability to show where both players are on court at the final shot. (maybe it does and I haven't figured it out.. but I haven't yet.. and if it does it's not easy to see…additionally I'd like it to show a play back of the points. And what gives with the fact you can only share the scores if someone else has the same software?? That's very miserly.

Anyone who is serious about their game looks for this type of info... This is the best app I had found that works and gives me my data.

I had an older version for a pda and bought this program as an app for the ipad and we love it! Really easy to learn how to use it and the info/insight that you can get instantly is extremely helpful. We use this for our division I college team all the time and all our players have really benefitted from it and have enjoyed the feedback on their matches.
